I made this for the first time tonight and it was FANTASTIC! I followed the recipe as written with minimal changes . I rubbed the roast lightly with olive oil before sprinkling on the seasoning mixture. I did not use all of the spice mixture, would've bee way too much. I did use a larger pork loin roast (5.6 lb). If you do, just bake at 350 for 20-25 min/pound. Also baked with the fat side up. Everyone in the house loved this one. It's a keeper.

I made this today. It came out delicious! I rubbed the spices into the pork, then seared it in a frying pan. Added sliced onions to the top and put it in the oven. When it was done cooking I covered it with aluminum foil and let it rest for about 15 minutes. I did add a small amount of water to the bottom of the pan and mixed up the juices to make a light, simple, but tasty broth. I will be making this often.

This was wonderful! I cooked it in an oven bag, and used the idea of another reviewer by using onion soup mix in place of the onion powder. Everything else as directed in the recipe. Just great and really simple....Thanks much!

I have been cooking pork roast for years but always seems to have it turn out dry. This recipe has ended my search. I made it exactly as the recipe is stated. I put it in my roaster and added a bit of water. Put the lid on popped it in the oven for 90 minutes and it was the best ever. Moist and so flavorful! Thanks for the recipe!

I live in Iowa and when I saw this recipe on The RecipeBuzz last week I had to try it! Go Hawks! I've made this twice this week. The first time with beef roast in a slow cooker, and the second time with a pork roast on top of the stove in an enameled cast iron roaster.
BOTH times my husband said it was the best roast he'd ever had, and I have to agree. I wish I'd come across this sooner. He even took the rest of the pork roast to work today and he HATES leftovers!!!!! I will never make a pork roast any other way, ever. As for beef, I will use this but sometimes I also like beef roast in au jus with onions, carrots etc,. So I may slide once in a while on beef...but otherwise...this IS THE recipe!
